Introduction

足陷黄沙也无妨，再次迈步，跟随指引未知的太阳。

倾听跨越光阴的回响，回应涌动的古老呼唤。

追寻低语的历史波澜，见奇迹绽放于璀璨。

Lyrics

ここから全て、始まる
私はただ、知りたい!
遠く離れても No problem
大地照らす Mystical light

砂に足を取られて
それでも歩き続ける
新しい風、あの日の記憶
私の心癒すオアシス
隠された秘密なら 私が見つけ出すから
誰も知らない場所へ、太陽を頼りに

With the sun that shine on me yeah!
Mystery is always by my side
もっと強く輝いて
誰も彼も夢見ている
流れ行く時の中
自由手に入れるため

Everyday まだ行ける
ずっとずっと奥深く
導かれていく 未知なる大地
燃えるような陽を浴びながら
追い求めているものは?
これ以上朽ち果てないで Stop it!

今まで出会えた 奇跡を集めて
心が躍れば、
探していたものが見つかるよ
季節巡る度、過去が蘇るように
新しい風、あの日の記憶
私の心癒すオアシス
隠された
秘密なら、私が見つけ出すから
誰も知らない場所へ、太陽を頼りに

With the sun that shine on me yeah!
Mystery is always by my side
もっと強く輝いて
誰も彼も夢見ている
流れ行く時の中
自由手に入れられたら
もっと強くなるために
私ならできるはず!
遠い日の記憶辿り
宝物手に入れるまで

Trivia

  • The song has received exceptionally high reception in both the Arknights community and other non-players. As of August 2024, the fan reuploaded version on Bilibili alone, which was uploaded a day after the CN Summer Event livestream, has received more than 98 million views and 49 thousand danmaku (bullet screens), and it has ranked the 21st most popular video on Bilibili. The official PV on Arknights' Bilibili account, which was uploaded later, has received 44 million views and 29 thousand danmaku.
    • As a gratitude for the PV's popularity, the official Arknights Bilibili account manager, Bilibili@Wan顽子, offered Pepe's GIFs from the PV as a gift for fan content creation.[1] These GIFs are specially done by TOMATO, Conviction's illustrator.[2]
  • In the CN community, the PV is simply nicknamed "ice (冰)" for a rather funny reason:
    • In the interlude between 00:27 and 00:38 and between 01:51 and 02:02, there is a repeating chant saying "habibi." The chant is actually habib (حَبِيب), "sweetheart; darling" in Arabic.[3]
    • Nevertheless, the chant was soramimi-ed as "掺冰冰 (Pinyin: chān bīng bīng; lit. "to stir the ice")." Adding to its humorous meaning was that the PV's repeating rhythm is so additive that it is as if sucking "ice poison (Hanzi: 冰毒; methamphetamine in Chinese)."
